  • TWIXTOR 5 in FCP

    Posted by Patrick De teliga on November 16, 2010 at 4:04 am

    I just installed the plugin twixtor pro 5, and I’m having some problems… (I have FCP 6.0.6)

    When I change the speed in the filter tab, in the twixtor plugin itself, the size of the clip in the timeline doesn’t change.

    I.e: If I change the speed to 50%, the clip in the timeline does not double in size, it stays the same and I cannot drag the clip out to make it longer.
    Similarly when I change the speed to 200% the clip does not shrink in size, half the clip is just black.

    Does anyone know of this problem? Otherwise the effect looks great when rendered, but due to this problem, I can’t use it.

    HELP!!!

    You should read the manual, but in FCP it’s tricky. For slowing down, you have to nest the clips in a new sequence to make up for the gain in duration as plug ins aren’t allowed to change the duration of the clip in FCP.

    or if you like pictures:

    If you have spent a bunch of money buying the best retiming plugin for FC, spend a bit of time reading the manual.

    Patrick –

    You have to lay the clip you want to correct in the timeline in it’s corrected size – the effect won’t ripple the timeline for you.

    For example – you have a 2″ clip that you want to slow down by half – then put 4″ of the clip in the timeline. You want to speed up the clip to twice as fast – then put a 1″ clip in the timeline.

    I’m sure you mean well, but thank you nonetheless for your condescension!
    I am guilty of being lazy!

    Thanks!
